California is working very hard to screw itself completely to Hell. There are gay penguins in a London zoo and the zoo has decided to be diverse. And Monopoly has decided to correct its original patriarchal board game.
Oh, and there was another democratic debate.
California Is On Fire!
California continues to screw its citizens by implementing the dumbest laws while ignoring the real problems.
The first law is AB 5 which states that companies can no longer “misclassify” workers as independent contractors has passed the California senate and is expected to be signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsome. This law will mostly effect companies like Uber and Lyft. Employers will now be on the hook for overtime, health insurance and retirement benefits. This will also allow employees who have been “misclassified” will have the ability to unionize.
Tyranny is alive and well in California. But I’m happy about that this law will just make things worse in California. Then, maybe, people of this state will begin to see the incompetence of the left in California and vote them out. This law s going to make California worse.
Uber and Lyft, which were the companies targeted, will simply stop service in California. This will cost the citizens the loss of a great service which is very affordable. It will also cost thousands of people who are in between jobs or need extra money to lose that easy opportunity to drive and make a few extra bucks.
This is just a crappy law.

In another ingenious move to try to create housing for the homeless, the state legislature passed a bill that would allow a statewide rent control. This law would limit rent increases to 5% after inflation. It also disallows evictions without cause which is what Newsome believes is the problem with the homeless.
I have three problems with this. First, the cities and state already regulate the hell out of landlords. That’s why rent is expensive. My family used to own apartment buildings that were under rent control. They never made any money because they were bled by the bureaucracy. They couldn’t wait to get rid of the apartments but, because everyone knew about it, had a hard time selling.
Second, this will have the reverse issue and will cause a greater housing crisis. People are not going to build apartments if they cannot be profitable.
And finally, the state is assuming that the reason people are on the streets because they cannot find a place to live. That’s just not the case. Most, not all, are living on the street because they are unable to function well enough to be able to afford an apartment. They are drug addicts. They are mentally ill. Or they just don’t want to hold a job and want to live on the street. Even if the theory would work and people build more apartments, for whatever reasons, these people will still be on the street.
This is another way that California is avoiding the problem.

California has one of the worst education systems in the United States. Kids that come out of California schools don’t know how to read, or write, or science, or math. They learn about climate change, diversity, the 63 different pronouns and how to have anal sex. Well, they may not be able to get in a college and get good jobs but at least they’re entitled.
I am on Twitter all the time (@RunninFewl) and, almost every day, and there is always a video of some brat yelling at a teacher because he’s not allowed to play Angry Birds on his iPhone X. At that point, at least the teacher could kick him out. Now they can’t.
Our kids are way too entitled and not at all disciplined. Oh, and I forgot uneducated, have no work ethic and are completely unprepared, not only for getting a job, but also for facing the difficulties of day-to-day life.
Good job, California!

Gay Penguins?
A London aquarium has announced that two lesbian penguins will resist traditional sexual stereotypes while raising their adopted chick. Four-month-old baby Gentoo will be “the world’s first penguin to not have its gender assigned,” Sea Life London exulted.
General Manager Graham McGrath said, “While the decision may ruffle a few feathers, gender neutrality in humans has only recently become a widespread topic of conversation, however, it is completely natural for penguins to develop genderless identities as they grow into mature adults.”
The Sea Life London announcement recalls a similar episode 15 years ago, when The New York Times fêted two allegedly homosexual penguins at the Central Park Zoo. “Roy and Silo, two chinstrap penguins at the Central Park Zoo in Manhattan, are completely devoted to each other,” wrote the Gray Lady. “For nearly six years now, they have been inseparable. They … have sex. Silo and Roy are, to anthropomorphize a bit, gay penguins. When offered female companionship, they have adamantly refused it.” The zoo even went so far as to take an egg from a normal penguin couple and let the “gay penguins raise it. The baby penguin was born and taken care of but the story had a sad ending. Roy and Silo hooked up with female penguins. And no one saw the two ever have sex as was reported. Oops.
Have we gotten so stupid? This isn’t a study. These idiots are trying to raise a “gender neutral” penguin chick. This reminds me of when biologists in Santa Monica, California were given a grant to find out how many gay seagulls there were. They dsaid that up to 60% of the seagulls could be gay. I never heard what happened with the report. What a waste of money.

Monopoly Got Woke!
Hasbro has decided to go woke with their next version of Monopoly! They are making a Monopoly game that will pay women more when they pass Go because of the “historical” gender wage gap.
“Unlike the classic game, women will collect 240 Monopoly bucks when they pass ‘go,’ while male players will collect the usual 200. The idea is to create a game where women make more than men, the first game to do so, according to Hasbro,” CNN reports.
It’s “a fun new take on the game that creates a world where women have an advantage often enjoyed by men,” the company said in a statement emailed to major news organizations.
This is so stupid it’s awesome. I want to buy this game. I want to play a woman. It might be the first time I play monopoly and have fun with the game. I’m not sure who said it on a Daily Wire podcast (subscribe) but men have nothing to lose when they play Monopoly. I hate Monopoly when it’s fair because I always lose on an even field (well, not always). If I play Ms. Monopoly, I’m suppose to lose. But, if I win, I am superior. Nice! I wish they’d do something like that wish chess.
Far More News
This week, we had the democratic debates. I watched a couple of hours. Biden won but he sounded old and he needs to get better denture adhesive. He tried to be a moderate but appeared a tad dishonest when asked a tough question.
Bernie came in second but he looks crazy so he might have lost.
Elizabeth Warren sis not answer one question and her dishonesty will cost her. But she got third.
In forth…who cares. The rest are done.
Beto and Julian Castro came in last. Beto wants to break into our houses and steal our guns. Castro is a meanie to old people.
And now we are down to three.
